Ghostwalkers Character Guide

The World of the GhostWalkers is complex, and most of the characters fall into several different groupings. From the original twelve orphan test subjects, to teams drawn from the four branches of the military – Army, Navy, Marine Corp and Air Force, this is a break-down of the various GhostWalker groups to date.

– Peter Whitney’s Orphans –

Dr. Peter Whitney began his experiments on little girls, children he found in orphanages around the world. While still very young, these girls were split up, going in very different directions. The one thing they all still have in common is that Whitney isn’t done with them yet…

-Group One-

Although these little girls were brought from all over, their early years were spent in the secret labs located under Peter Whitney’s home.

Briony Jenkins – adopted out to the Jenkins family, raised as part of the family trapeze act. Identical twin sister of Marigold Smith. Paired with Jack Norton, mother of twin sons Jeremiah Ken Norton and Noah Jack Norton. Story told in Conspiracy Game.

Dahlia Le Blanc – kept in Sanitarium in the bayou. Works for the NCIS as a field operative. Paired with Nicholas “Nico” Trevane. Story told in Mind Game.

Iris “Flame” Johnson – kept in a lab in Colorado. Given a recurring form of cancer by Peter Whitney. Paired with Raoul “Gator” Fontenot. Story told in Night Game.

Ivy – put into the breeding program. Believed to have been shot and killed on orders of Peter Whitney.

Tansy Meadows – adopted out to the wealthy Meadows family. Tracked serial killers for the FBI since age 13. Paired with Kaden “Bishop” Montague. Story told in Murder Game.

Violet Smythe-Freeman – married off to Senator Ed Freeman. Widowed. Believed to be paired with Peter Whitney. Killed by Bellisia Adams.

Other Group One girls: Camellia “Cami” (Breeding program), Jonquille, Laurel

-Group Two-

Little is known of where these girls were trained, but the facility was cold and brutal. One of the few groups that were not named after flowers.

Saber Wynter – originally named Wynter. Trained for covert work. Kills with a touch. Married to Jesse Calhoun. Story told in Predatory Game.

Thorn – brutalized by Peter Whitney as a child to the point of death. Experimented on and dumped on the streets of Tokyo. Taken in by a wealthy family and renamed Azami Yoshiie. Paired with Sam Johnson. Story told in Samurai Game.

-Group Three-

The orphans of what I am calling Group Three were based in France for most of their training, and seem to be used for seduction and assassination. To this point, they heavily feature Insect DNA into their enhancements, making some belive they are “lesser” Ghostwalkers.

Cayenne – a rebel who refused to kill. Black Widow DNA. Shoots spider webs to trap prey. Incredibly venomous bite that kills in seconds. Married to Trap Dawkins. Story told in Spider Game.

Pepper – a seductress. Secretes a biochemical that both attracks and kills. Enhanced with Snake DNA. Produces a lethal venom when she is threatened. Biological mother of triplets Ginger, Cannelle and Thym. Married to Wyatt Fontenot. Story told in Viper Game.

-Group Four-

Not much is known about this group (as yet), but it appears that these girls are specially trained for spy and assassin work, and have very uniquely enhanced DNA.

Bellisia Adams – Originally named Bellis. Has octopus DNA, secretes a fatal venom. Most at home in the water. Married to Ezekiel Fortunes. Story told in Power Game.

Other Group Two Girls: Blue, Cat, Scarlet, Shylah (Peony), Zara

– The Soldiers –

-Team One-

Team one, the special forces team, is comprised of Army men, mainly Rangers and Green Berets. This is Whitney’s primary, “official” team, held captive and experimented on at the Donovans’ research facility. Several members were killed during this period. They operate under the command of General Ranier, and have built a base with team two in the mountains of Montana.

Ian McGillicuddy – extremely tall and muscled.

Jeff Hollister – suffered a stroke and brain bleeds from the enhancements.

Jonas Harper – grew up in a circus family. High-wire specialist and pickpocket. Master of disguise.

Kadan Montague – second in command. Former homicide detective. Paired with Tansy Meadows. Story told in Murder Game.

Kyle Forbes – a Doctor. Explosives genius. Abnormally strong.

Nicholas Trevane – highly decorated sniper, never misses his target. Native American and Japanese descent. Paired with Dahlia Le Blanc. Story told in Mind Game.

-Team Two-

Team two is made up of Navy SEALS. This was Peter Whitney’s “back up” team. While team one was contained at the Donovans facility, team two was held in the basement facility under Whitney’s mansion…the same lab as the original 12 orphan girls. They are under command of Rear Admiral Frank Henderson, and have built a base with team one in the mountains of Montana.

Jesse Calhoun – NCIS agent. From a wealthy family. Brother of Patsy Calhoun. Spent months confined to a wheelchair after being tortured. Paired with Saber Wynter. Story told in Predatory Game.

Ken Norton – legendary sniper. Twin brother of Jack Norton. Left badly scarred after being captured and tortured by General Ekabela. Paired with Marigold “Mari” Smith, father of identical twin boys. Story told in Deadly Game.

-Team Three-

Group three the Marine Force Recon Urban Warfare Team. They are unique in that they have been together since childhood. They formed their own family on the streets of Chicago, brought together by their shared psychic abilites. Some went on to college, while the rest joined the Marine Corps. They were reunited in the GhostWalker program, and specialize in Urban Warfare. They are under command of Sergeant Major Theodore Griffen. They make their base in San Fransisco.

Brian Hutton – lived on the streets as a child. Sent undercover to guard Saber Wynter.

Gideon Carpenter – top sniper. Never misses his target.

Jaimie Fielding – computer genius. Mother murdered when she was a teenager. Paired with Mack “Top” McKinley. Story told in Street Game.

Jacob Princeton – enhanced for underwater work.

Javier Enderman – brilliant but unpredictable. The most dangerous member of the team. Believed by some to be a psychopath.

Kane Cannon – second in command. Assigned to work in Peter Whitney‘s breeding program. Paired with Rose Patterson. Story told in Ruthless Game.

Mack McKinley – team leader and leader of their “family”. Paired with Jaimie Fielding. Story told in Street Game.

-Team Four-

The existence of team four, the Elite Air Force Pararescue Team, was a closely guarded secret even from the other three teams. Completing hundreds of nearly impossible rescue missions, each of the men of the team are highly trained medics and skilled warriors. They have built their base in the bayou of Louisiana, and take orders from Major General Tennessee Milton.

DiegoCampo – skilled sniper. Brother of Rubin Campo.

Draden “Sandman” Freeman – Lieutenant and Doctor. Former male model.

Ezekiel “Hunter” Fortunes – Captain and Doctor. Grew up on the streets of Detroit. Raised his younger brothers Malichai Fortunes and Mordichai Fortunes. Married to Bellisia Adams. Story told in Power Game.
